President Maithripala Sirisena has made a formal request to the Russian chancellor for immediate termination of the interim ban imposed by Russia to Sri Lanka Tea.
Sirisena said that he had made this request to the Russian President, while addressing an event in the Haputna region today.
Plantation Minister Naveen Dissanayake has said that steps are being taken to revoke interim banning orders imposed by Sri Lanka Tea.
He said he had not packed the bees when tea was packaged in Sri Lanka and could have gone from other ports to beetles packets when ships were sent.
A team led by plantation minister Naveen Dissanayake will travel to Russia soon to discuss this issue, he said.
Russia has issued interim bans for Sri Lankan Tea following the beef being exported from Sri Lanka to Russia in the tea exported to Russia. Experts say Sri Lanka's tea production is facing a huge challenge.
Tea cultivation in Sri Lanka is largely based on the Hill Country.
Millions of Tamils of Indian descent have tea in their livelihood.
By the interim ban imposed by Russia, the Hill Country politicians have pointed out that the life of the Tamil Nadu Tamils is highly challenged.
The tea exported from Sri Lanka is said to be a major fall in the future of the Sri Lankan tea industry due to the presence of a beech called kepra.
